The world’s first import-themed national exhibition debuted in Shanghai on November 5, 2018 as an active step by China to further open the Chinse market to the international business community and other investors. Tradewind was pleased to participate in the five-day affair, called the China International Import Expo, and separately hosted a dinner on November 7 at the Cordis Hotel Shanghai to introduce its supply chain finance product to an audience of government officials, heads of large state-owned enterprises, exporters, and buyers.
CIIE, held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, symbolized the Chinese government’s nod of approval for trade liberalization and promoted economic cooperation as well as global trade among nations. For its part, Tradewind invited industry friends, partners, and several businesses to the inaugural event, including reputable European buyers, such as EWM, OVS, Puma, Zara, ASOS, and KIABI; exporters from Africa; and clients from Hong Kong and Shanghai.
